Chronic gastritis

Chronic Gastritis: A View from Ayurveda and Modern Medicine

Chronic gastritis is a condition characterized by persistent inflammation of the stomach lining, manifested by a variety of symptoms that include upper abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, excessive gas production, and changes in stool.

Causes: According to modern medicine, chronic gastritis is often associated with excessive use of NSAID drugs, as well as Helicobacter pylori infection, alcohol consumption, smoking or stress. From the point of view of Ayurveda, the causes are similar and include imbalances in the digestive fire, excessive bitterness in the body and inappropriate eating habits.

Recommended Herbs:

1. Amalaki (Emblica officinalis): It contains a high content of vitamin C and antioxidants, which helps in healing and protecting the gastric mucosa.

2. Triphala (Amalaki, Haritaki, Bibhitaki): A blend of three herbs, also known as Vara Churna, which balances the digestive fire and detoxifies the body. Amalaki supports the healing of the stomach lining, Haritaki improves digestion and Bibhitaki cleanses the digestive tract.

3. Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica): Supports the healing of the digestive mucosa and improves the function of the digestive system.

4. Sounf (Foeniculum vulgare): Helps relieve bloating, heartburn and nausea.

5. Dhania (Coriandrum sativum): Supports digestion and relieves digestive problems.

6. Pippali (Piper longum): Stimulates the digestive tract and helps digest heavy meals.

7. Jeerak (Cuminum cyminum): Relieves heartburn, promotes digestion and relieves indigestion.

Vara Churna: Vara Churna is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal blend consisting of Amalaki, Haritaki and Bibhitaki. This combination of herbs is used in Ayurveda to support digestion, detoxify the body and balance the digestive system. Amalaki provides antioxidants and vitamin C, Haritaki promotes cleansing and regeneration of the digestive tract, while Bibhitaki has astringent properties and aids in the removal of toxins. The advantage of the powder in this case is the larger mass, which passes through the digestive tract and acts differently than a smaller amount of extract.
